WASHINGTON — Less than halfway through his first term, President Barack Obama has appointed more openly gay officials than any other president in history. Gay activists say the estimate of more than 150 appointments so far – from agency heads and commission members to policy officials and senior staffers – surpasses the previous high of about 140 reached during two full terms under President Bill Clinton.

White House spokesman Shin Inouye confirmed the record number, saying Obama has hired more gay officials than the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations combined. He said Obama “is proud that his appointments reflect the diversity of the American public.”

“He is committed to appointing highly qualified individuals for each post,” Inouye said. “We have made a record number of openly LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender) appointments and we are confident that this number will only continue to grow.”

Item #2 of 2 comes from a pro-homosexual web site that not only helps LGBT’s learn how to get appointed and where LGBT’s can upload their resumes and lists almost 200 of Obama’s LGBT Appointments.Source: http://www.glli.org/presidentialPresidential Appointments Project

“You may not believe today, but one day you will. There are no unbelievers in heaven AND there are no unbelievers in hell. What you believe now determines where you will spend eternity.”

Lucky for me, I’m not going to either place. Since they don’t exist.
I’m returning to the earth, going to become worm food and to nourish nature as she has nourished me throughout my life.
Some of me will hopefully live on, in the form of organs and tissues donated to those who can still use them thanks to modern medical science. And hopefully more of me donated to research hospitals, to train the next generation of medical professionals to care for the living hear on Earth where it is needed.

“I feel very sad for every unrepentant sinful soul who ends up in hell for all eternity in eternal suffering, burning forever and forever, without ceasing. That makes me feel sad.”

I feel sad for those who worship and swear loyalty to a deity who would condemn innocent children to eternal torture simply by being born into a culture that doesn’t practice the same belief system as you.
If your God is omnipotent, omniscient and omni-benevolent, why would He make humans the only creatures in all of Creation about which He cares? Would He not be concerned about the souls of the horses? Or the trees? Or the dung beetle?
And if the souls of humanity are so important, and can only be saved by swearing fealty to Him, why would he create cultures such as the Bhuddists in India, or the aboriginal tribes in the Amazon, where worship of your God is not known? Is he creating these people solely for the purpose of populating his Hell with fresh souls, even though He never gave them a chance to be redeemed?

“If King James repented of his sins…then he is living in heaven, praising God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, for all eternity. That is the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. No one is beyond redemption.”

I feel very sad for every unrepentant sinful soul who ends up in hell for all eternity in eternal suffering, burning forever and forever, without ceasing. That makes me feel sad. If King James did not repent of all his sins, including the one that a commenter below points out, then King James is burning in hell forever and ever. If King James repented of his sins, possibly by reading the Bible named after him because he requested that scholars of the time put it together, then he is living in heaven, praising God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, for all eternity. That is the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. No one is beyond redemption. All can be forgiven of all their sins. Jesus Christ paid the price for our sins IF we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Joseph’s brothers sought to do evil and sinned against him grievously, leaving him for dead and selling him to evildoers. But it turned out that that act saved the lives of Joseph’s brothers and his father. Read Genesis starting in chapter 3 and read it all the way to the end where it ends gloriously: It is written: Genesis 50:20 KJV But as for you (Joseph’s brothers), ye thought evil against me (Joseph); but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. — and there you have it! St. Paul wrote of this same thing in the New Testament: Romans 8:28 KJV And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

You may not believe today, but one day you will. There are no unbelievers in heaven AND there are no unbelievers in hell. What you believe now determines where you will spend eternity.

Romans 14:11-12 KJV [11] For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
[12] So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Those who don’t love homosexuals will hide the truth from them. They really don’t care where people spend eternity. They pretend to love the homosexual by not telling them what they must do to be saved. What must they do? They must repent of their sin and accept Christ as Lord and Savior. When they do these things the Holy Spirit will help them to live godly lives. Yes, they won’t be perfect. Yes, they might fall back into the sin, but in their hearts, they will know the sin of homosexuality is wrong and not okay with God. Why? They have been saved and they do not want to do things which are not pleasing in God’s sight. My prayer: May God bless each homosexual someone who loves them enough to tell them the truth. May heaven be their eternal home. May they live in true peace and joy as they wait for Christ’s return.

The word sodomite troubles the lost sinner because it calls sin, sin. Truth can feel like hate to the lost soul. I speak the truth in love. I pray for you that God remove the scales from your eyes and the blocks from your ears so that you can be a hearer of the Word of God and be saved. I pray that you can see the truth and that you find it quickly in The Word of God in the powerful and righteous King James Bible. In Jesus name, I pray, for you. Amen.

I’m starting to like the term “sodomite” more and more too. I think the funniest thing we could do is to start wearing it like a mark of pride and endearment. We’d thus take away the power of a word from hate, the one force that sustains the shriveled and blackened souls of “Christians’ in this country.

My only issue is this: as a hetero male who fancies himself as libertine as any gay man, what term can I use? Perhaps “Gomoroahan?”
